Little Hard on the Police . . . Ya think?
I'm discussing the books I have written and a gentleman by the name of Nate asked if I wasn't being a little tough on the police. I responded that nobody is perfect . . . the police are somebody . . . thus they ain't perfect.

'The Beekiller" all over again.
LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — Someone pounded on Miguel Rivera's sliding glass door early Sunday, but when he went to investigate, no one was there. Minutes later, gunfire erupted at his neighbor's house, where authorities say a Marine vet who thought he heard the voice of God killed four people, including a 3-month-old boy.
I'd like to invite those who are left wondering to read "The Bee Killer'. Read away at Kindle Vella for free or it's up on Amazon as well as other places.

Book Award
So how do I feel about one of my stories being considered for an award? Nice as far as that goes, but it is much more inspiring to know my stories touched people on a certain level.

Aren't ya a little hard on the police?
Was asked this, this week. Look . . . Police are people, no one is perfect, thus police ain't perfect and I call 'em out for their imperfections. You know. Little things like rape and murder. After all . . . we can't all stick our heads in the sand.

My story 'Brand of Justice' is on sale at a Bookstore near you.
- For more than 20 years, Ledell Lee maintained his innocence in the brutal murder of Debra Reese, but he was executed in 2017.
- Work from the Innocence Project and ACLU revealed serious flaws in his criminal trial, as well as a lack of DNA evidence tying him to the murder.
- Earlier this week, new DNA evidence taken from the murder weapon revealed the genetic material of a different man.

Truth is Stranger than Fiction but wait a Sec . . .
Nothing too shocking for those of you who read The Last Gargoyle.
The body of a missing man was found inside a papier-mâché dinosaur statue in a suburb of Barcelona, Spanish police reported, according to BBC News.

This guy delivers a spot on elevator pitch. I mean, you can score a decedent pillow for well below the sixty or so bucks that this guy sells his pillows for. I asked a man in sales how he does it. Near as he can figure, people buy the pillow and then feel stupid for being duped . . . so mums the word.

Thumpin' a Lady with Dementia . . .
and now a Grandmother? Then we have to watch the officers laughing about it. Man our police officers have to learn to respect the body cam if they wanna rebuild their brand. I wrote two stories about officers and how power corrupts. I pointed out the need to respect technology. This from a former cop. Can't say any of this really surprises me.

Oh where has Lucas Davenport gone?
Gotta wonder. John Sandford penned a ton of 'Prey' stories about the Dirty Harry kinda policing. Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport rolled around Minneapolis teaching bad guys a lesson. Then reality showed up. Now what's gonna happen? Perhaps have vigilante justice how up in the final 'Prey' story. Have demonstrators string Lucas and Virgil up.

Fell in Love
Spent time in Montana last week and fell in love with a book. Isabel researched this incredible story and laid waste to the dark side. If the doers of evil could be compelled to be exposed to this material the world would be a better place. Of course you can lead a horse to water but ya can't make him drink.
